labor & birth support
🧚🏼♀️
Serving the Portland metropolitan area
🙌🏼 Imagine yourself supported by gentle hands, extensive knowledge, and abundant love; you feel safe, respected, & powerful – you’re ready to conquer birth without fear and transition into parenthood with supreme confidence.
🤯 Birth is wild. It's raw and messy and transformative. There are as many ways to give birth as there are women in the world. I encourage you to embrace your journey as it unfolds before you, while I help you uncover your distinct birthing style. At the end of the day, this is your birth, your body, and your baby. I fully support the experience that you choose to have, whatever that may look like.
Here’s how you’ll benefit from a doula.
I’ll let you in on a secret; you've already got what it takes. Your body is more powerful and capable than you could ever imagine. As your doula, I am not here to save you, because you don't need saving! I help you dig deep to access the wildly transformative potential of childbirth, so you can use this experience as an opportunity to find the magic in your strength.
I am here to instill strength and reduce fear. I will keep you inspired, optimistic, mindful, and constantly evolving. I will remind you of your strength in your moments of doubt. I am here to guide your evolution into the mother you want to be so that when parenthood arrives, you can greet it with confidence.
💥 I educate you, encourage you, hold you accountable.
💥 I keep you engaged in your own journey.
💥 I help you explore your options, find a care model that is aligned to your values and supportive of your wishes, and lay the foundation for a birth that will leave you feeling safe, respected, fulfilled, and wildly powerful.
💥 I’m your confidante, your biggest fan, and your first phone call when labor begins.

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers. Let's get to know each other over a cup of coffee or tea (currently virtual consultations only) to see if it’s a good fit!

No expectations, no obligations.

I support birth no matter what it looks like. This includes birth for single parents, surrogates, parents planning to place the child for adoption, parents that have experienced infertility, miscarriage or infant loss, and all birth plans including home births, C-sections, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), planned induction and planned use pain medications.

“Genevieve walked and talked me through this journey and I don’t know what my birth story would be without her. She showed the utmost patience, care, knowledge and compassion — not only helping me, but also my husband, bring our beautiful daughter into the world.” — S.M.

I have a deep respect and reverence for childbirth and its transformative power. But mostly, I believe that women are strong; real strong. And I am committed to facilitating the moments in which you realize that for yourself.
